I checked and no leaks. I like the idea Wes posted but I will have to investigate further to get measurements for the proper size charcoal filter to fit somewhere on the body, preferably out of sight ...

After restoring the M38A1 and filling the gas tank, I notice a lot of gas fumes from sitting overnight in a pretty air tight garage. No gas leaking from anywhere and when I walk by the filler cap, th ...

Congratulations...finally. You certainly have had a time of it but you hung in there. Looking forward to the pictures. I had my own trials and tribulations but nothing like yours. Mine is back tog ...

For my M38A1 head gasket problem I am putting a new gasket on and when I looked at the manuals once again I noticed something I had not observed before. In the April 1954 manual there is a head bolt ...

Skyjeep, thanks for the in depth answer. I admit I was very surprised to see the metal sided Felpro gasket, even though you said before that was what you installed. My previous experience, albeit ma ...

Wes...that is the exact gasket I have. I looked at the link/site you sent and still do not see which is the block side to the gasket.

I got my gasket set from Midwest Military with a composite gasket and I do not recall any instructions on sealant. If I recall correctly I asked the machine shop/engine builder what he would do. He ...

I have not yet checked for a cracked head or block in that location but I did use an ample amount of thread sealer. Sealed the gasket on both sides and followed the recommendation of the shop owner w ...

The compression check resulted in 115-120 LBS on each cylinder. But upon removal of the plugs, the 2&3 plugs were quite wet. With anti-freeze. Knew the head was coming off at this point and pro ...

Yes. I mentioned that in my last post. I will be starting this today and update the post with my findings for those interested. Thanks to those who responded.

Wes...It started running rough just as this occurred and I shut her down. Is it safe to run the engine with that kind of symptom? And when doing a leak down test, how long should the cylinder hold t ...
